Cutting through the noise – Scaling Teams in a Candidate-Rich Market

CTO Craft

At this CTO Craft Bytes event we''ll be digging into why quantity and quality rarely go hand-in-hand and how you can uncover top talent.

<h2>In this Bytes session we will discuss strategies and best practices to finding top talent in a market full of candidates.</h2>A rich market means more candidates to manage, more targeted routes to identify the top quality people, and presents risks such as missing the best people, or misaligning with competitor offers.Our panel include two Engineering leaders who have hired through 2023, so have strong insights into the current candidate market, and Ryan Smith who leads Albany Growth - a recruitment business with a specialism in hiring product and engineering leaders in investor backed tech companies.Key points that will be discussed include:<ol><li>What are the key impacts of global layoffs on engineering recruitment in the last 6 months and the hiring market? How has this changed since the post-covid boom?</li><li>Smart hiring: What processes do you need to put in place to ensure you hire the best candidates? How do you best analyse incoming talent? How do you assess culture fit?</li></ol>The session will enable you to understand more about:<ul><li>How to optimise scaling your team.</li><li>Tactically what the process might look like – from scope right through to delivery.</li><li>How different approaches might be required for different candidates (product v engineering) and what these look like in our experience.</li><li>Insights on the role that culture and sustainability play during candidates’ choice of employer.</li></ul>Audience: Aimed at CTOs, CTOs, VP Eng, Tech leaders<h3></h3><h3>A﻿bout the Panel Speakers</h3><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryansmithae/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">R﻿yan Smith, MD @ Albany Growth</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryansmithae/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Ryan set up AG in 2021 with a clear objective: to stabilise early- stage companies by providing sustainable and empowered workforces.
